A friendly reminder that the logical/reasoning part of your brain (prefrontal cortex) “goes offline” when you’re emotionally aroused.
✨Practice taking a pause before speaking
✨Step away from emotionally charged situations to give the emotional part of your brain (limbic system) 🧠 time to cool down
✨Don’t send that text! Wait a while and then decide what you want to say.
Hope you’re enjoying your Sunday 💜
